Prayer Intentions of Pope Francis
For centuries, people from around the world have sent prayer requests to Rome. From them, the Pope selects intentions for each month.
We can include them, for example, when we pray a rosary. When we do this, we are joining our hands in prayer with the faithful around the world.
